The State of Washington along with many others license fee based tonnage. Our 8800 GVWR 2001.5 RAM was licensed at 12K and was legal in the other 49 states up to that amount. If I had licensed it at 10K and been weighed when exceeding that, then I would have been issued a ticket for not have paid for enough tonnage.
Weight stations enforce their version of the bridge weight laws (based on Fed rules), safety and correct licensing.
No pickup is going to exceed the bridge weight laws.
